[Contest 3] Would you like to make a contract with the devil?
Would You Make a Contract with the Devil?:ep.4


After a huge candy fight, I finished school without being able to beat up Park Jimin. I looked up at the darkening sky, rubbed my sleepy eyes, and walked to the convenience store where I work.

After finishing the palm tree, I was so tired that my muscles were aching and screaming. I tried to wake myself up by yawning and stretching, but my eyelids only got heavier.

On weekends, the place is full of part-time workers, and on weekdays, I usually don't work part-time because I have to go to school the next day, but on Fridays, when the next day is the weekend, I worked part-time at dawn after finishing my night shift.

"I'll put a patch on you as soon as I get home... Just hold on a little longer, my body."

A few hours later,

I was wearing a convenience store vest, my mouth kept yawning, and time was passing by boredly at the checkout counter with nothing to do.

During the early morning hours, there were fewer customers and it was rare to see anyone walking outside, let alone looking for a convenience store. So, as soon as I arrived and finished cleaning, I would often just waste time with nothing to do.

If I were to get caught doing something else and the store manager caught me, I would likely be hated and get scolded, so I had no choice but to just stand there in the quiet convenience store.

Ding-

It was a long time since I heard the pleasant and clear sound of the bell. Since it was my first time receiving a guest today, I looked up and saw the man standing at the door with a bright smile.

"Welcome, sir"

But you shouldn't expect customers at this hour. A man in his forties, his face flushed and as if drunk, staggered around the convenience store, barely able to keep himself from falling.

It wouldn't matter if I just wandered around... If I stumbled even slightly and bumped into something, the displayed items would come crashing down. Falling like that would damage the items, and if that happened, I was sure to hear the store manager's nagging all the time.

How could I possibly send a drunken customer away? I sighed, brushed back my bangs, took a moment to catch my breath, and then approached the staggering man with the brightest smile I could muster.

"Sir, you seem to have had quite a bit to drink."

"I'll take you outside, so you can go home and rest for today..."

???
"What?! What did you say... Hey, you're sending me out!"

???
"XX, do I look that easy?!"

이 여주
"No, that's not it, sir... I'm sorry if you felt uncomfortable."

???
"You're apologizing now? Huh?! This won't do... "

???
"I have to give you proper mental education... Hehe, come out here quickly, you XX-year-old."

As he said that, the man suddenly grabbed my wrist and tried to drag me out with force. I desperately tried to move my arm to shake him off, but I was only able to be helplessly dragged away by the adult man's immense strength.

So, what will become of me now? I was slowly becoming afraid, and I was helplessly dragged out of the convenience store by the man's hand. As soon as I got out, he immediately pushed me against the wall and raised his hand above my head as if he was going to commit violence, and I tightly closed my eyes.

Percussion-!

But when nothing happened or felt like it, with a short crash, I opened my eyes, which I had been carefully closing, with great doubt.

Then, my eyes met with Park Jimin's, who was standing there holding the arm of the man who had raised his hand to hit me.
